The Key Features of Zinus Mattress

One good key feature of the Zinus Mattress is the breakdown of the foam. The foam is 3 inches of Memory Foam, 2 inches of Comfort Foam, 3.5 inches of Airflow High-Density Foam, and 3.5 inches Airflow High-Density Base Support Foam. The combinations of these foams set the Zinus Mattress apart from other memory foam mattresses by allowing for a plush sleep surfacing, but with a supportive base.

Another good key feature is that as the name describes, this mattress is infused with Green Tea and also Castor Natural Seed Oil (Amazon.com Description) to naturally prevent odor and bacteria from settling into your mattress. If you’ve previously had another brand or type of memory foam mattress, you may have noticed a slight chemical odor due to the foams. Zinus’s infusion of the Green Tea and Castor Natural Seed Oil within this mattress alleviates that issue with this mattress selection.

Lastly, another solid key feature of this mattress is the Worry-Free 10 Year Limited Warranty. This warranty protects your mattress from defects in workmanship and materials. Zinus will replace or repair (that decision is at the discretion of Zinus) your mattress if any defect is found due to workmanship or materials for a 10 year period. (Warranty Details).

The Memory Foam

The memory foam used to create this mattress is well thought out. This may be a good mattress choice for you if you’re looking for a memory foam mattress that contours to your body, but also provides some more support than the typical memory foam mattress. The 3.5 inches of Airflow High-Density Base Support Foam provide the sleeper with a supportive base that allows the foam to provide pressure relief for your bones and joints, but stops you from sinking into your mattress. The memory foam conforms to your body to provide alleviating pressure in all the right places and providing support where you need it.

The Height

The 12-inch height of this mattress may appeal to those who enjoy a thicker mattress and who like sleeping higher off the ground. This may not be the best mattress choice for you if you have mobility issues, such as trouble lifting your knees past a certain height.

The Green Tea Infusion

The Green Tea and Castor Natural Oil infusion really does set this mattress apart from other memory foam mattresses. These infusions may help put this mattress at the top of the list for any buyers who dislike the chemical odor that sometimes accompanies memory foam mattresses. This mattress also may be a good choice for someone who dislikes the idea of bacteria growing within the mattress where they sleep. The flip side of this is that this may not be the mattress for you if you dislike fragrance-type smells or don’t want those smells too close to your face while sleeping.

Shipping Info

This mattress is made to be order directly from a website, therefore making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of having to shop in-person at a store. Zinus has patented a method to easily ship the mattress to your home making it easy to set-up yourself. The mattress is compressed and rolled by Zinus and then sent to your home where you need to open it within 72 hours of receiving it. You then allow 48 hours for the mattress to re-inflate to its set position of twelve inches. Keep in mind that this may not be the best mattress for you to purchase if you can’t easily lift the 67 pound package into your bedroom when it arrives. It may be a two-man job to get this mattress set up (Product Information).

How Does It Compare?

LUCID 10 Inch Mattress

The LUCID 10 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress is a dual-layered mattress that combines 2.5 inches of gel-infused, ventilated memory foam on top of 7.5 inches of a high-density foam base. This combination allows for a stronger supportive mattress for sleeping compared to the Zinus Green Tea mattress. The LUCID mattress does conform to the body to relieve pressure off of joints, but it goes one step further than the Zinus model due to the gel-infused memory foam that regulates body temperature. Both mattresses possess the CertiPur-US certification. The LUCID does offer a longer warranty at 25 years. (LUCID Gel Memory Foam Mattress Info). The LUCID 10 Inch Gel Mattress may be a good choice for someone who is looking for a mattress that helps to regulate temperature during sleep or someone who desires a firmer feel to their mattress than is offered by the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress.

Perfect Cloud Mattress

Like the Zinus Green Tea Mattress, Perfect Cloud’s Lavender Bliss Memory Foam Mattress is infused with a natural oil. For Perfect Cloud it’s Lavender Oil and the company promises this infusion will help you fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. This mattress also has a combination of memory foams including a 6 inch base of Poly Support Foam, 2.5 inches of Ventilated Gel-Infused Foam, and 1.5 inches of Ventilated Plush Memory Foam. (Perfect Cloud Lavender Bliss Memory Foam Info). As opposed to the Zinus Mattress, Perfect Cloud’s Memory Foam mattress provides a more supportive sleeping base while still promising a soft and weightless feel while you sleep. Like the Zinus Green Tea mattress, Perfect Cloud’s memory foam is a hundred percent CertiPUR-US and offers a ten year warranty. The Perfect Cloud Lavender Bliss 10 Inch Memory Foam mattress might be the best mattress choice for someone who wants the infused mattress option, but who favors the scent of lavender while sleeping as opposed to green tea. Another person who may be interested in this option might be someone who needs a more supportive mattress (compared to the Zinus option), but who still wants the soft and lightweight feel of a typical memory foam mattress.

Sleep Master Mattress by Zinus

The Sleep Master 14 Inch Grand Mattress, also by Zinsu, is similar in foam construction to the Green Tea Memory Foam mattress. The Sleep Master consists of 1 inch of Memory Foam Quilted Cover, 2.5 inches of Memory Foam, 3.5 inches Pressure Relieving Comfort Foam, 3.5 inches Airflow Foam, and 3.5 inches of High-Density Base Support Foam. Also, like the Green Tea mattress the Sleep Master Memory Foam is CertiPur-US foam. To combat the issue of chemicals and odors associated with memory foam mattresses Sleep Master uses BioFoam that replaces some of the traditional chemicals with natural plant oils to keep the foam fresh and odor free. This Zinus mattress offers the same type of sleep style and comfort as the Green Tea Memory Foam mattress, but the Sleep Master is taller in height compared to the Green Tea. The Sleep Master mattress may be the ideal pick for someone who is looking for a mattress that is a bit taller in height than the typical mattress height and who enjoys the feel of sleeping up high. Also the Sleep Master doesn’t have any fragrance associated with it, a good pick for those looking for a mattress without fragrance. This mattress ships the same way as the Green Tea Foam mattress and is covered by the same 10 year warranty.

VERDICT

The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress has a lot to offer and could be the mattress and answer to your sleep problems. This model by Zinus provides the comfort of a foam mattress allowing the mattress to conform to your body and alleviate pain and pressure from your bones and joints, while at the same time providing added stability and support with the 3.5 inches of Airflow High-Density Base Support Foam.
